Everything is going well so far, I’m about half way through a 3 minute video. Had Vegas open all day yesterday for 12 hours and didn’t have any issues. Still working from proxies from the cineform high files. Some clips had “difficult” effects too, EG: Gaussian blur and twixtor on about 10 clips (although I had to turn effects off periodically when doing real time play backs or else it lags). But no issues with crashing, just a lag when undoing a change (ctrl+z)
I’ll update once the whole thing is done.
I have another question though:
You know how you can make an effect globally apply to every clip in the project by dragging and dropping it onto the review window? Is there a way to exclude certain clips in this “global change”? I’ve tried locking the tracks I don’t want the effect applied to but it doesn’t work.
Any ideas?
Edit: I just figured out you can apply effects to individual tracks, so I can make new tracks for the clips I don’t want the effects applied to. I would still like to know if there is a way to exclude certain clips though
Thanks

Yeah vegas 12 has smart proxy, right click files in the project media tab and select “create video proxy”:

John, do you think using the smart proxy feature would help at all? I’ve rendered from prores hq to Cineform High and am just about to start editing.
I can always change them to proxies with smart proxy later on anyway can’t I? Don’t have to do that from the beginning?

Not sure how to make a post to threads without replying to someone, just wanted to update so far as someone will eventually have the same issue and be searching:
Did a batch render of all 240 clips to Cineform High from the original prores from vegas in lots of 100 clips each (2 lots of 100 and 1 of 40). Curious to see that some of the Videos didn’t play in Windows Media Player, but still had audio, meanwhile some were fine and played normally. I checked them out in Mediainfo and the ones that didn’t play all had a much lower bitrate than the ones that did: around 30mbps vs 100-120mbps.
I went back and checked a previous batch render I did of Filmscan 2. I checked each of the 240 videos in media info and made sure they played in WMP and everything was fine, consistent bitrates and all played, the only difference is I rendered in lots of 75 instead of 100. Weird. I went back and re-rendered the High batch again, this time in lots of 75 clips, re-checked each clip in mediainfo and made sure they played in WMP and all was fine and all consistent bitrates.
Only explanation I can think of is that even though Vegas appeared to be handling 100 clips fine, it was at the upper limits and struggling (meaning the fileiosurrogate was almost maxed out).. vegas must have just freaked out and weird inconsistencies happened.
Going forward I would do 50 clips at a time max.

Yeah thats true. I might have a play with I’ve got nothing I need done.

I installed Gopro studio the same day you recommended it and I’ve been exporting to Cineform just fine from Vegas in all flavours so I assume everything should be fine.
Just tested in Handbrake again and the error is “must first scan a source” even though when I open a cinfeform file it scans (it even says scanning showing a percentage, finishes and the filename is up in the source section, weird. I just noticed there’s an update available so I’ll try that tomorrow (currently on version 0.9.9.5530 64 bit)

OK thanks.
I stumbled across this thread in my travels, it looks interesting, this guys basically found an app that lets you use more than 2gb memory on 32bit exe/dll’s… apparently it only works to get around the crashing during render issue in Vegas. I wonder if it would work for the fileiosurrogate.exe:

I just read through all the bug fixes, thanks.
This one caught my eye:
“Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when rendering some very large projects to QuickTime format.”
I’m guess they only mean specifically TO Quicktime FROM non quicktime files? Like AVCHD to DNXHD or something?
That said, wouldn’t the 32bit memory limit apply because its using quicktime?
-
Damn, it doesn’t work for me either.
The file imports and shows up fine as the source but when I encode it says something like “Handbrake can’t read the file” or something, I’ll double check again later when I’m at home.
-
Yeah that sucks 🙁
I could render out from Vegas in Cineform again, then run that through Cliptoolz V2 to DNXHD, then to handbrake, according to what John says, that shouldn’t be a problem quality wise
